Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can cause a variety of illnesses in humans, from the common cold to Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). As a result, the entire world was crippled by its unprecedented spread and no vaccine was in sight until recently.

Like other countries around the world, Djibouti has been actively campaigning to limit the impact of the pandemic on the population. SGTD Doraleh Terminal has also put in place rigorous measures to contain the pandemic within the Terminal:
